Blizzard is having a Black Friday sale of its own, so to speak, and has put its World of Warcraft offerings on sale.

From now until November 30, if you order through Battle.net, you’ll get the original World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade for just $5 each, and Wrath of the Lich King is $10. That’s cheap.

The prices are the same on the Blizzard Store if you would like to give the gift of WoW as well.

WoW’s latest expansion, Cataclysm, launches on December 7 and will run you $39.99 for the standard version.

Speaking to MTV, Mythic boss Mark Jacobs has admitted that the release of WoW expansion The Burning Crusade pushed back Warhammer Online’s release thanks to its “water cooler quests.

“We obviously had a major bump when ‘Burning Crusade’ came out,” he said. “When [Blizzard] released that expansion, they raised the expectations of the player; they put in some of what we call ‘water cooler quests,’ the things that you talk about around the watercooler.

“We looked at the amount of content they put in that and said we need more time if we want to add some of those things, if we want our own water cooler quests or more water cooler quests. So our choice was to delay the game and spend more time on it. It was a major bump.”

Blizzard announced only last week that the game was to hit Russia in August.

“The launch of the Russian-language version reflects our continuing commitment to make World of Warcraft even more accessible for gamers throughout the world,” said Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime.

“We also hope that providing a fully localised version of the game will further enhance the gameplay experience for our enthusiastic Russian community.”
